Since there are over 12 million refugees in the world today and millions more displaced persons, because immigrants and newcomers within our borders are increasingly denied basic civil and human rights and made to feel unwelcome, Episcopal Migration Ministries continues to carry out the ministry it began over 70 years ago to relieve the burden of the world’s suffering through refugee resettlement and immigrant assistance. Our network of 30 offices in 26 dioceses of the Episcopal Church, many congregations, and countless volunteers make our ongoing effort possible. As long as the crisis persists for refugees and immigrants, EMM will pursue its mission and mandate to welcome the stranger. You are invited to share the journey with all who seek safety and security within our borders and throughout the world.
Share the journey with a world of neighbors!
